Description

And it is through studying courses of 36 academic units over a period of 3 semesters, followed by specialized scientific research of 6 academic units. The legal period required to obtain a master’s degree ranges from 36 months according to the Graduate Studies Regulation No. (69) of 2009

Objectives

By the end of this program, the student will be able to know the mechanism of the cell's work as the unit of construction and function in the living organism and how to adapt to the internal and external environmental variables to ensure the stability of the internal environment. In addition to understanding the mechanism of functioning of the functions of the various organs that make up the body systems, the mechanisms of coordination between them, and knowledge of the dysfunction of the body organs, which enables the student to differentiate between physiological and abnormal functionality, and to infer the methods used in selecting the functions of the body organs.

To achieve this program, the student must study the following compulsory subjects:

1. Physiology course (1-2-3) with 12 study units (as shown in the table), where the student studies the structure and function of the cell - body fluids - acid-base balance - structure and function of the building unit of the nervous and muscular system - the main and autonomic nervous system - structure And the function of the urinary system - respiratory - digestive - reproductive - cardiac circulation - blood - endocrine - cell biology

The physiology course is considered one of the basic courses for the study of many medical specialties, as it is a basic entry point for understanding internal pathology - pharmacology - in medicine and veterinary medicine - dentistry - pharmacy

2. Biochemistry course (4 credits) - It includes the study of the chemical structure and function of the cells of the body - and the various metabolic processes (starches - proteins - fats - ions - bases and acids - methods of diagnosis and testing of organ functions (liver - kidney - heart - nerves - muscles - the blood ).

3. Clinical and Diagnostic Chemistry course (8 credits), which includes the study of diseases resulting from the occurrence of imbalances in the chemical composition of cells, methods of diagnosis, and knowledge of the tests used in diagnosing diseases and the techniques used in diagnosis.

Outcomes

a. Knowledge and understanding:

Knowledge:

Information and modern techniques in the field of physiology (organ function, methods of preparation and techniques for diagnosing diseases resulting from dysfunction, medical analysis techniques and their relationship to diseases).

Understanding:

1. The student should be able to describe cellular functions at the organic and molecular level and describe some biophysical laws and their relationship to physiology.

2. The ability to deal with various scientific sources and absorb their contents

3. Using different scientific techniques in the field of specialization.

4. The ability to distinguish between normal and abnormal function

B. Mental skills:

1. The ability to analyze and interpret the results of normal values and distinguish them from pathological ones for components (blood, respiratory system, neuromuscular system).

2. Explanation and interpretation of some clinical variables such as electromyography of the heart, muscles, nerves and lungs

3. Understanding how different technologies work in the field of specialization and being able to identify strengths and weaknesses.

4. Giving the student the characteristic of a researcher in the field of specialization

C. Practical and professional skills:

1. The ability to conduct medical and research analyzes related to the functions of the various organs in the body

2. The ability to interpret laboratory results.

3. The ability to use electronic programs in the field of specialization

4. The ability to collect samples and data

D. General and transferable skills:

1. Scientific writing and preparing a research plan

2. Data analysis using a computer.

3. Giving lectures and managing panel discussions

4. Acquisition of effective learning skills, teamwork skills and discipline
